Jan 11 Chester Wilmot is dead in a plane crash at 42 and Rocky Kansas is dead at 58. Jack Molinas Fort Wayne Pro basketball rookie star was suspended for placing bets on his team's games. He claimed he always bet to win but this is illegal now in New York. Lillian read "A Woman Named Chaye" R.K. Keil, "The Golden Watch" Albert Halper, "The Old Bank House" Angela Thirkell.
Jan 12 Lillian cut Sylvia's hair a little shorter than she wanted and Sylvia cried. She looks very cute however. At the dentist recently Euyge had three fillings - $17. Lillian had a crown where her filling came loose $30.
Jan 13 The City's biggest snowfall in five years, 9 inches which started Sunday has brought freezing weather and an end to the heretofore mild winter. Lillian shopped at May's A&S and Gimbels and bought pajamas for Eugene $2., two shirts for me at $2. each, a coat for Sylvia $13. and a set of dishes $60. (at A&S. service for 12). Admiral Blandy is dead at 63.
The May Company, which owned department stores, existed back then, and dad clearly wrote "May's", but I think it's much more likely that he meant to write "Macy's".
Jan 14 Sylvia had a temp of 101.8° this afternoon. Lillian gave her aspirins, vaporizer, ... and rubbed in Vicks. Christian Dem. Fanfani became the Italian premier.
Jan 15 Sylvia's temp was 101.5° again but Dr Holzman wouldn't come. He ordered juices and no aspirin. Her temp rose to 102°. Eugene went to the monthly dance at the temple. He danced the tango, foxtrot, square dance, etc.
I don't remember knowing the tango. Maybe they taught it there.
Jan 16 Sylvia's temp was up to 102° again.
